Shout out to Kube and 35fordtn 2 Attachment(s)
Those of you that have seen my posts may have noticed that for quite some time I have been searching for the illusive unobtainium i.e. an 01A-1453 spare hold-down bracket for each of my two '42 Sedan delivery's.
Early Saturday morning (New Zealand time) I woke and checked my phone to find a PM (via the Ford Barn) from Kube, as well as an email from eBay, alerting me to a recent listing (by Michael Driskel) of a NOS piece of the aforementioned unobtainium. I hit the buy now option without hesitation. :) I would like to publicly thank both Kube for remembering my search and Michael for listing the item at what I can only describe as a very fair and reasonable price. Below are pictures of the NOS part from Michael and my attempt at a copy based on photos I found, using a reproduction convertible part as a start point. :) |

Re: Shout out to Kube and 35fordtn Meric,
I’m glad mike caught your need! As I must have missed it as We’ve had that bracket for quite sometime. It’s always nice seeing needed parts find way to a good home. |

Kube is a great person, spouse, and asset to those on the hunt for unobtanium like '42 SD essentials. |

That is one very different part. Glad that you finally found one of these elusive spare wheel hold down brackets. |

I've long had a special place for you guys in new Zealand and Australia. I can only imagine how difficult it is to restore a car in your countries. So, what else ya need? :) |
Re: Shout out to Kube and 35fordtn Don't forget, the thrill of the chase is half the fun. I love going to swap meets. But when the vehicle is done and I don't need anything, walking around the meet just isn't the same. I now have a list of spares I don't really need but gives me something to look for. I haven't been to a swap meet since I got the 52 Ford earlier this year. Ebay has been my swap meet. Can't wait to go again without the nagging feeling that it's not safe enough.
